	Remember that Antialias_Depth does not have exactly the same meaning
for methods 1 and 2. A depth of 4 translates to 16 potential samples
for method 1 but to 289 (!) potential samples for method 2 (of course,
they won't all be taken all the time, but it's still a *lot* more
samples for method 2). You should try method 2 with a depth of 2
(which may still take up to 25 samples), this shouldn't be too much
slower than your settings but give better results.

	See http://www.povray.org/documentation/view/3.6.1/223/ for complete
details and a table giving the number of samples at each depth for
both methods.
